The Illini took care of business on home court Tuesday night against Ohio State, winning 69-60. Illinois was firing on all cylinders and pulled away in the second half in a game that wasn’t as close as the final score may show.
It’s on nights like these that everyone gets reminded why Illini fans had high expectations coming into the season, and it’s confusing as to why we don’t see this every time.
One thing that had aided the Illini in the past three successful seasons was roster continuity and leadership with Trent Frazier and Da’Monte Williams.
